Between 1986 and 2004 the Ontario mining industry reported seven fatalities and 73 lost-time injuries as a result of poor line of sight visibility from load haul dump (LHD) vehicle operators.
LHD machines are electric or diesel powered trackless vehicles with a scoop or bucket on the front. They are primarily used to transport ore from the production face to dumping points. Over the last 20 years, the use of LHDs in mining has increased. Improved mine engineering and a better ground support have substantially reduced many of the historical mining hazards, according to a report authored by Jonathan Tyson titled To See or Not To See ... That is The Question.
